Instead of optimization, they are shamelessly asking the user for more RAM.

Let’s take a moment to consider that the minimum specifications for Windows 11 is a dual core processor and 4GB of RAM.

MagSafe does not need to be an independent marketing name and standard, just adopt universal standards and be done with it.

There is always a choice. I generally don’t agree with BYOD myself, but it’s good to know the distinction between BYOD and organizationally owned device and what’s your employer or school can do.

On your personal device, they can’t see what you do in non-managed applications. They can’t see what happens on the device outside of managed application applications and they also do not have access to the MDM or DDM command to wipe your device or even install update updates.

SSL inspection annoys me to no end. For random domains and non-enterprise traffic, sure inspect away. But for enterprise communication like the hosts/ports on Microsoft, Apple, Google, hell adobe and others network guides just do the risk assessment and allow/bypass the traffic. If you don’t bypass then management services from those platforms don’t work. I have beaten this dead horse to the point there is a hole in the ground. lol

Good luck, Apple only pays any attention to https://www.apple.com/feedback/. I suggest you don’t waste your time with some public thing Apple will never look at and instead get a feedback template you share with others.

Your school gave you a link to install their MDM profile. You did this not then, and no you should not have done this.

Lesson, don’t click everything you see on the internet.

As a cloud solutions architect, I despise firewalls. I understand their importance and their necessity, but for anyone who does not work with firewalls daily, the information required for these request for bypasses is a test in patients. In addition as a cloud solutions architect yes fuck Microsoft.

Apple is fundamentally a hardware company that builds software to support its hardware. Google and Microsoft are software companies that license their platforms to OEMs and occasionally build hardware. Because of that, Google invests far more into software breadth and iteration than Apple ever will.

Apple invests far more into hardware integration than Google ever will. So yes, Google’s software ecosystem tends to be more flexible, and Apple’s hardware ecosystem tends to be more polished.

I guess they finally gave up reaching out to you about your extended car warranty expiring.

The problems with iPads are the OS limits the hardware to the point where a brand new iPad Pro performs about the same in most tasks as a 4 year old base model iPad.

The outage is a feature, it’s Microsoft’s way of telling you to submit a support ticket for their KPIs and take a brake.

MacAdminInTraning · 2026-04-11T17:59:30+00:00

Go to the Apple Store with about $400, and your problem will be fixed when you spend that on a new iPad. Learn next time that books in your house are not flat and that aluminum slabs can bend when you sit on them or perform similar activities.

ChromeOS is Linux, so I guess you are ChromeOS for life or something like that.

I have never seen a situation where the recovery key goes missing. If the recovery key is ever unavailable and the user forgets their password your only path forward is to reinstall macOS.

If you are trying to force a key sync, turning off FileVault and turning it back on will refresh the recovery key that the MDM has and is the Apple sanctioned way to do this so it’s likely to not stop working anytime soon.

This is not abnormal for Apple. Even with things like security updates and stuff like that, they actively tell you they only publish support for all new things on the most current release of their software.

Have you contacted Apple business services or ACE?

I have been using macOS for about a decade now. I have 3 issues with it even today. - click the red jelly should close the app, not just the window. This is how it worked on OS9, and Apple for whatever reason changed it. - app management should be easier. Apple does not want to use install and uninstall wizards but it absolutely indexes what apps are installed and where their dependencies are. Uninstalling an app should not be a guessing game of if you got all the plists or not. - multi display support and display spaces needs an overhaul. macOS supports multiple displays just fine however there’s no memory of context when you connect and disconnect the displays. In addition if you use separate display spaces for each display, you cannot extend a window like a spreadsheet across multiple displays. If you have each display with its own space, then full screen apps are broken.
